Anglophiles, collectors and Beatles fans began a bidding battle last Wednesday as a bevy of original London street signs, including one of the iconic Abbey Road, went on sale at auction.
The world-famous street, home to the studios where The Beatles recorded most of their albums, is the standout lot in the collection of around 270 used signs being offered at the two-week online sale.
Abbey Road itself featured on the cover of the “Fab Four” album of the same name and the sign could fetch more than £5,000 (RM28,320), according to auctioneer Catherine Southon, who is handling the offering.
